description of 2006 contest:
in 2006, 30,000 fans crowded the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues in Coney Island to witness the match-up between Takeru Kobayashi of Japan and Joey Chestnut of California. An additional 1.5 million households tuned in to the contest’s live broadcast on ESPN. Chestnut ate an astounding 52 Nathan’s Hot Dogs and Buns in the 12-minute contest, nearly dethroning Kobayashi who ate 53.75 hot dogs and buns and secured his sixth straight title.
cant do both - what do i choose? gotta be hawt dawgs, especially if im seeing a.c. and the gang at pitchfork 10 days later. but given that this city is always fucking rocking some crazy shit, why dont some of you make the trek for a weekend? for all our travels, new york has been sorely underfucked. dont cost nothing to stay, and ill show you the best $1 tacos the world has to offer. this city can be enjoyed on the cheap, believe me - i'm bruce's son. $39 one way southwest tickets if you get them at the right time. that's less than eddie spends on shower cleaner after a weekend of upside-down piggy back rides with mere. potential visit:
august 8th: modest mouse, clipse, and band of horses at keyspan park in coney island (klatt and adam, where that shitty festival with awesome music was, but not the same festival, its defunct. for the rest of you its a sweet minor league baseball stadium)
august 9th: daft punk, same venue. thats a wednesday and thursday, but fuck it.
R.I.P. SHOOTER

while i was looking for an appropriate picture of beck, there was one in which he was sucking on a cig (he smokes kools), and doing some paperwork. the caption was "rod beck fills out an injury report for the san diego padres." what a dude.
Mike and Carol are sending me packing. After this week, the Klatt house in Wilmette is unofficially someone else's for the next few months. You can expect me on the dates you've suggested. I'm coming down from Albany and we're double this up with Yankee Stadium.
I never got my hopes up. I've been down that boulevard of broken dreams before with you, David.
check your voicemail and call me back already.
